Just to say Coastie I had problems with Vac system and went to main dealers for parts and finished up at local VX scrappers and came away with lots of tubeing, rubber elbows,plastic T pieces, for next to nowt, the very same parts are used on all Vx models in profusion.Hope this info helps

You have run over a small pigmy builder who is about to quote you on a job you dont need doing and hence the sucking of air through his teeth.

Hi guys just finished work...

On the way home I thought I would listen out for this sucking noise as the roads were quiet!!!

I coul hear it in the cab when I added a bit of right foot.... Well a bit more than a bit!!!

Will be having a good look round in morning but if anyone could shed some more light on way it could be apart from the vac pipes etc so I have some more things to look over - it would be greatful!!!

The common issue I see on these is where the brake servo pipe has rubbed against the aircon pipe and created a hole (rear right of the plenum).....this is due to poor re-fit as there should be a bracket that spaces the two pipes apart.

Brake servo pipe just has a 19mm nut attaaching it to the plenum (counter hold teh plenum section wiht a 17mm and simply pushes into the servo.

The secret to removing the pipe from the servo is to wiggle it and hold it at a bit of an angle so the air can enter the servo around the rubber pipe fitting seal....once this is done it comes out easily.

so just a push fit, but held in with vaceume?

Yep...its quite tight once the vac is released but very tight when its present!
